Douluo Continent: I got the Sharingan at the start!

Chapter 156 Xuanzi: Come back to the academy with me, you can't be an evil soul master!

Huo Yuhao sneered: "Shrek Academy?"

"They won't even give me a core disciple, what will I get when I go back?"

"My current strength is far greater than yours; you're only a Soul Master now, aren't you?"

"And I am about to break through to the Soul King realm, and I am no longer the weak Huo Yuhao I once was."

"Besides, Xiao Xiao has only reached the third ring yet."

Feeling the shocked looks from Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of inexplicable superiority.

They are no longer from the same world, and he himself possesses twin martial souls.

I will leave them far behind, until they are out of reach.

"Hahahahaha."

Huo Yuhao suddenly let out a laugh that sounded like that of a madman, and then roared at Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao:

"Why don't you join the Holy Spirit Cult with me? It will definitely be much better than you staying at Shrek Academy."

"Think carefully, what have you received from the academy?"

"What the hell is the point of running every day?"

"It's faster to absorb other people's soul power."

Huo Yuhao shuddered, a hint of enjoyment flashing in his eyes. Level 50, he had reached it.

Like throwing away trash, the three Zhongli brothers, now dried-up corpses, were tossed onto the ground.

"You've fallen into the clutches of evil spirits, wake up!"

Wang Dong couldn't help but offer his advice, hoping that Huo Yuhao would turn back.

"Wang Dong, stop trying to persuade him. The squad leader is indeed more capable than us."

"We are weaker than him, so this isn't convincing. Let Elder Xuan take action."

"Take the squad leader back by force."

Xiao Xiao walked to Wang Dong's side, glanced at the somewhat crazed Huo Yuhao, and whispered.

Wang Dong's eyes were complicated, and it took him a long time to nod emphatically.

"Elder Xuan."

He shouted into the empty sky.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and Xuanzi, holding a large wine jug, quietly materialized.

His face was extremely ugly at this moment; he had been secretly watching from the shadows.

Naturally, they learned what had happened.

He never expected that Huo Yuhao would secretly join the Holy Spirit Cult; this was truly beyond his expectations.

What shocked him even more was that he hadn't expected Huo Yuhao's martial soul to be so monstrous, even after leaving Shrek Academy.

To leap from Soul Master to level 50 in Soul Power, one only needs to absorb one Soul Ring to become a Soul King.

It's only been a few months since the competition ended.

What kind of speed is that? This evil spirit master is truly terrifying.

A hint of apprehension flashed in Xuanzi's aged eyes. It wasn't fear of Huo Yuhao, but rather apprehension at how terrifying evil soul masters had become.

However, what he didn't know was that Huo Yuhao was the only exception in the Holy Spirit Cult. Although the others were also very fast, they were still very different from Huo Yuhao.

As we all know, although evil spirit masters level up quickly, their potential is extremely low unless their martial spirit is very powerful.

Especially for evil spirit masters who strengthen themselves by absorbing the soul power of others, their potential is even lower.

In the early stages, you might not see much difference; you'll just feel great and it's fast.

However, the drawbacks became apparent in the later stages.

Absorbing other people's soul power to improve oneself will lower the quality of one's own soul power, thus affecting one's potential.

Some people may reach the Title Douluo level in a very short time, but every subsequent breakthrough will be extremely difficult for them, and they may even remain at that level forever.

While Huo Yuhao's Demonic Pig Martial Soul can also absorb soul power, it is different from others.

His soul power quality will not decrease; in fact, it will increase if he absorbs a soul master with pure soul power.

Absorbing soul power is just one of his soul skills; his soul bones can also absorb the bloodlines of others to strengthen himself and possess some of the characteristics of other people's martial souls.

This was something only he knew, and he had never told anyone else.

The only thing Huo Yuhao needs to face is negative emotions; if he can't control them, he will turn into a mindless demon.

This can be considered the price to pay for gaining great power. If you can get through it, becoming a god in the future is not impossible.

If you can't survive, return to the world and become nourishment.

Xuanzi stared intently at Huo Yuhao. He never expected that Huo Yuhao, who was so inconspicuous and even weak, would become so powerful.

A thought flashed through his mind: This kid is already level 50.

Judging from his mood, he seemed to be in much better spirits than Xiao Tao, probably because he had stronger mental strength.

It should still be under control for now. If we bring it back to the academy, we can nurture it properly.

When the next competition begins, he might be able to reach the Soul Saint level or even higher.

Under his leadership, Shrek Academy can once again shine brightly.

Besides, he is a student of Shrek Academy. If I can reason with him and appeal to his emotions, I might be able to persuade him.

Thinking of this, his gaze softened considerably, and he no longer regarded him as an evil spirit master.

"Yuhao, your martial soul has probably mutated, possessing some characteristics of stealing the soul power of others, which is very similar to that of an evil soul master."

"To avoid being misunderstood by others, come back to the academy with us. We will help you resolve this problem, and then you will be able to cultivate like a normal Soul Master."

He spoke in a gentle tone, but very seriously.

Unexpectedly, Huo Yuhao completely missed his point and sneered:

"What's wrong with evil spirit masters? Can't evil spirit masters live?"

"Does joining Shrek Academy mean I have no chance of survival?"

"Do you still think I'm that naive and clueless kid I used to be?"

Huo Yuhao's aura grew increasingly cold, and with each word he spoke, more resentment seeped out, causing Xuanzi to frown deeply.

During the days after joining the Holy Spirit Cult, Huo Yuhao grew up and clearly understood that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

Why can't they get proper training at Shrek Academy?

Is it because Shrek Academy lacks resources?

no.

It's because he himself has no value to the academy, or rather, his value is too low, so there's no need to invest in him.

However, in the Holy Spirit Church, those who are worthless die even more miserably and receive no training whatsoever.

To be fair, Shrek Academy is much better than the Holy Spirit Cult, at least there's no danger to one's life.

It looks good, but this is not what Huo Yuhao wants at all. He still has a great grudge to avenge, how can he be a mediocre soul master?

Although the Holy Spirit Cult is cruel, they are discerning people, and Huo Yuhao happens to possess this item, which they consider incredibly powerful.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao can receive better training in the Holy Spirit Cult, which is what he needs most.

The sect can provide him with status, protectors, food for soul beasts, and even soul masters for cultivation.

He has now become an extremely revered holy son within the sect; what difference does it make if he is an evil soul master?

He believed that once he possessed great power, no one would dare utter a single rebellious word in his presence.

"Listen to me, you're still fairly lucid. Come back to the academy with me, and I guarantee that resources will be tilted towards you, and your growth rate will definitely increase dramatically."

Xuanzi was getting anxious. Why was Huo Yuhao so stubborn?

Huo Yuhao said coldly, "Elder Xuan, I'm only staying to talk to you all this time because we used to be in the same academy."

"But we're not from the same world anymore, you'll never understand what I want."

"Shrek Academy is not suitable for me. It's only a gathering place for geniuses like you."

"Besides, none of your so-called resources are as fast or satisfying as directly absorbing other people's soul power."

"Hahahaha."

At this point, Huo Yuhao's eyes blazed with dark energy, and he let out a series of maniacal laughs.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong couldn't help but shudder.

"How did he become like this?"

A thought flashed through their minds.

Xuanzi's face was gloomy, and a faint yellow light emanated from his body. He took a small step forward.

This sudden movement instantly alerted Huo Yuhao, who quickly took a few steps back, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"What, you want to attack me?"

A cold glint flashed in Xuanzi's eyes. Since Huo Yuhao wouldn't listen to him, he wouldn't be so lenient.

"You have fallen into the ranks of evil spirit masters. But out of consideration for your past as my student, I will save you."

The next moment, a yellow light transformed into the shape of a rope, and in the next instant, it turned into a stream of light and wrapped around Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted. He had thought that after reaching the Soul King level, he had far surpassed his previous self.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't even take a step when faced with Elder Xuan's casual strike.

Just as Xuanzi thought he was about to succeed, and was about to smile.

The next moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared.

The visitor was an elderly man dressed in black.

The old man in black clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a black ball of light immediately appeared in his palms. Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings quickly rose from his feet.

The nine spirit rings took turns emitting a halo of light.

The black orb of light had already blocked the yellow rope released by Xuanzi.

"You are, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng?"

Xuanzi looked at the old man in black with some surprise and uncertainty, but the next moment, he confirmed the identity of the newcomer.

Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng smiled sinisterly, seemingly somewhat surprised:

"Isn't this the famous Gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi?"

"Judging from your aura, you only have level 97 soul power?"

This discovery greatly surprised Zhang Peng. If he remembered correctly, Xuanzi had a soul power of level ninety-eight.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi was immediately enraged. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, as if issuing a warning:

"Zhang Peng, I never thought you would dare to show your face in this world again. Elder Mu spared you back then because you didn't take any lives."

"And you yourself promised that you would never easily leave the world while Elder Mu is alive."

"Why are you here today? Do you intend to be my enemy?"

"Even though I'm only level 97 now, killing you is as easy as killing a chicken."

When the past was brought up again, a hint of resentment flashed across Zhang Peng's face.

He only needed to devour soul beasts to cultivate; he hadn't killed anyone. He was almost judged as an evil soul master back then.

Adding to his misfortune was encountering Moon, which forced him to hide.

Why should I be considered an evil soul master? Does Shrek Academy even care if I kill soul beasts?

In the end, Zhang Peng became increasingly angry, so he decided to give up and join the Holy Spirit Cult for protection.

Now, he is also serving as the protector of the current Holy Son Huo Yuhao, and he has witnessed Huo Yuhao's rapid improvement in cultivation.

This was far more evil than he had ever been, which shocked him and fueled his growing resentment.

Huo Yuhao had already drained others into dried corpses, yet Xuanzi still wanted to take them back.

He had only killed a few soul beasts, yet he almost lost his life.

Zhang Peng snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone, "Elder Xuan, I am inferior to you in terms of cultivation, but I am now responsible for protecting His Highness the Holy Son."

"You can't take him away today."

After he finished speaking, the black light emanating from his body intensified, and his aura faintly rivaled that of a Super Douluo. (He fought to a draw with Xian Lin'er in his first appearance, before reaching the Super Douluo level.)

Xuanzi sneered disdainfully and said, "A piece of trash who hasn't even reached the Super Douluo level dares to fight me."

I don't know where you get your confidence from.

Although Xuanzi's soul power had increased to ninety-seven, he still completely overwhelmed Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo.

A yellow light emanated from its body and shot straight towards Zhang Peng.

Faced with the aura of this Super Douluo, Zhang Peng's forehead was damp with sweat.

"Damn it, I'm afraid I'll have a hard time getting away today."

He inwardly groaned, but as Huo Yuhao's protector, he could not back down at this moment.

Seeing Huo Yuhao, who was also in pain, Zhang Peng transmitted his voice, "Holy Son, I'll hold him off for a bit, you run outside quickly."

"Those two little guys shouldn't be able to stop you."

He was referring to Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. Huo Yuhao's soul power has now reached level 50, which would definitely allow him to easily crush Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao.

Huo Yuhao nodded silently, then shielded Scorpion Tiger Douluo in front of him and slowly retreated to make room for the upcoming battle.

"Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, you two go and stop Huo Yuhao. I'll join you after I deal with this evil soul master in front of me."

"Yes."

Without waiting for Xuanzi's instructions, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao chased after Huo Yuhao.

The battlefield was instantly split in two.

"Zhang Peng, let this old man see if you've made any progress over the years."

Xuanzi's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he said with a forced smile.

Zhang Peng sneered: "Whether I've improved or not, Elder Xuan will soon find out."

"But Elder Xuan, you've been lax these past few years. How come your cultivation has decreased instead of increased?"

Although his cultivation level was inferior to his opponent's, Zhang Peng believed he was second to none when it came to verbal sparring.

Hit people without slapping their faces, and expose people without revealing shortcomings.

Zhang Peng's words were truly a blow to the spirit.

Xuanzi's beard trembled with anger, and he roared, "You're courting death!"

The deep yellow light spread out instantly, and the surrounding trees were all bathed in this light, instantly becoming tinged with a yellow halo.

On the other side, Zhang Peng was not to be outdone, his dark aura spreading continuously, and his nine soul rings echoing each other.

"We can't fight him head-on; we just need to stall him."

"I can't beat him in terms of strength, but I can buy him some time."
